Phys.org / How human activities compromise coral health and resilience
Human activities are fundamentally altering the chemical makeup of coral reefs, according to a study led by the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa and published in Nature Communications. The research team discovered that 25 contaminants ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers uncover novel pathway that causes epilepsy
Researchers have uncovered a novel biological pathway that can lead to seizures when disrupted. The findings also provide a new approach to improve the diagnosis of epilepsy, for which a genetic cause cannot be found in about ...
Medical Xpress / New tool makes immune therapy more effective in prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is often resistant to immunotherapy, which harnesses a person's immune system to recognize and destroy tumors. But a new technology that targets RNA in cancer cells gave immunotherapy new life, improving its ...
Phys.org / India successfully launches first private orbital rocket
India's first privately built orbital rocket took its maiden flight Saturday, its company said, marking a significant step for the South Asian giant as it eyes a bigger slice of the global space economy.
Tech Xplore / Magnesium oxide emerges as a promising protective coating for sulfide solid electrolytes
The success of a promising class of next-generation batteries may hinge on something almost impossibly thin: a coating just a nanometer thick—roughly 100,000 times thinner than a human hair. In new research, scientists at ...
Phys.org / Air from Greenland snow shows industrialization's impact on atmospheric methane
An international team of researchers, including scientists from Utrecht University and the University of Maryland, has reconstructed the concentration of clumped isotopes of methane in air from the past for the first time. ...
Medical Xpress / Night owls eat later, choose less nutritious food, carry more belly fat and show higher metabolic risk
For generations, early to bed and early to rise was seen as the blueprint for a healthy life, and any departure from it was often considered unhealthy. Scientists, however, have discovered that whether someone is an early ...
Phys.org / Cold radioactive molecules prepped and readied for physics discoveries
For the first time, researchers have developed a way to create chilled molecules containing the radioactive element radium. The resulting laboratory concoctions, generated in part through steps similar to those used to make ...
Tech Xplore / New catalyst could enable safer electrolyzers for clean hydrogen production
Hydrogen could serve as a clean alternative to fossil fuels because, when used as a fuel, it produces water vapor instead of carbon dioxide (CO2). This cleaner fuel has proved particularly promising for the creation of so-called ...
Medical Xpress / Seven-year study finds non-surgical valve replacement holds up as well as open-heart surgery
The incidence of cardiovascular disease is rising across the globe, with more than 28 million people worldwide living with heart valve disease. Each year in the United States alone, surgeons perform approximately 106,000 ...
Phys.org / Schrödinger‑like charges in six‑molecule clusters point to new quantum components
Researchers from the University of Basel have published details of how electrons within a cluster of molecules interact with one another and can be controlled. Their findings pave the way for new approaches to developing ...
Phys.org / FCC approves first launch for space reflector constellation
Reflect Orbital moves ahead with the company's first Eärendil launch amid concerns from the astronomical community.
